Construction Trends in Newcastle-under-Lyme

Newcastle-under-Lyme's Ryecroft and Castle Quarter regeneration, led by Capital&Centric, has delivered a new five-storey car park with 472 spaces as part of a 30 million pound scheme that will bring homes, shops and a hotel across the Ryecroft, Astley Place and Midway sites. A proposed scheme off Whitmore Road, beside the golf club, could add around 650 homes plus a new country park, while the council's emerging Local Plan sets a target of 8,000 homes to 2040. Away from these schemes, established towns keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
